Adventure Travel and Coronavirus: A Message to Our Clients

At Kayak More Tomorrow, our priority in all our operations has and always will be centered around our core principals of integrity, transparency and client well-being.

Now more than ever, I wanted to share my thoughts about the spread of COVID-19 virus. I know that the situation is weighing on everyone’s mind. My goal is to offer Kayak More Tomorrow’s client’s options and reassurance.

After over 2 decades of running adventure trips, we have faced many challenging situations, and we’ve come out of each one stronger. That’s not to say that this isn’t a trying time for everyone. While we remain committed to running adventure trips as conditions and the authorities allow, we are very aware that everyone has their own perspective on what’s right for them.

Therefore, we’ve adjusted our booking policies to allow you flexibility to make the right decision for you; now we are offering credits on accounts that do not expire. We have adjusted our policies during challenging times such as 9/11, the 2008 financial crises and others – and we are happy to do so again for this situation.

I’ve owned and led Kayak More Tomorrow since founding it in 1998. Kayak More Tomorrow has been debt free for over a decade and remains so today. We have strong capital reserves – in short, we’re here to weather the storm. We’ve learned from past challenges how to scale down, or up, as the environment changes; we’ll be here and ready when the time is right for you, be that this season, next or beyond.

We have an experienced and dedicated people awaiting your call or e-mail to book your next Kayak More Tomorrow adventure.

What if I’m thinking about booking a trip today? We are now accepting open-ended bookings, with credits that do not expire so that you can adjust your dates to best suit your situation. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have additional questions.

We sincerely hope to see you on the water this season.

Best Regards,

Jonathan

Expedition Sea Kayaking will give you the opportunity to explore a coastline with an Expedition Leader, an accomplished professional sea kayaker who has logged thousands of sea kayaking miles exploring the world’s coastlines. KMT expedition leaders are intimately knowledgeable of Nordland’s coastline and its waterways.

An Expedition Sea Kayak Trip requires the right location with, challenging waterways, protected harbors, majestic vistas, and intriguing wildlife encounters. Kayak More Tomorrow’s sea kayak specialists after having explored a world of waterways have found that the Providence of Nordland in Norway’s Arctic is the perfect venue for a Sea Kayak Expedition Challenge.

North Norway’s Providence of Nordland is a seemingly endless island world with giant fjords, immense plains, and remote mountain borders. The landscape in Northern Norway is ceaselessly varied, unspoiled, magnificent, awe-inspiring and beautiful; the perfect backdrop for a month-long sea kayak expedition.

Nordland, Norway a sea kayaking eldorado, to the west lie the islands some only visible at low tide others tower more than a thousand meters above the sea. A long Helgeland’s coast there are thousands of tiny islands tens of kilometers from the shore whereas most are flat, but some rise up in strange mountain formations. The Lofoten Islands, dark violet, ancient craggy peaks rise like pyramids; these large islands lie like miniature continents with their mountains, forests and agricultural land, surrounded by the seaways of this awe-inspiring archipelago. Steeped in myths, sagas, fairy tales, and folklore Nordland’s many famous landmarks have contributed to these telling’s, Torghatten, Seven Sisters of Alsten, Hestmannen, Rødøyløve, Landego, Vestfjorden & Vågakallen are just a few that we will discover while paddling Nordland’s spectacular coast.

The Nordland Sea Kayak challenge begins at the southernmost end of the providence where we paddle North to the Northern border of the Troms, Providence in the Lofoten Islands. We meet in Brønnøysund, Nordland’s most southern city. Brønnøysund is a quaint coastal city that once was a major trading center on the sailing route from Bergen to the Lofoten Islands; it is here we do the final preparations of our sea kayak journey through Nordland.

The Nordland Challenge is unlike any other sea kayaking trip. There is no set route, planned stopping places or scheduled overnight campsites. This is a journey, a discovery in its truest sense with everyday unique and undetermined waiting to unfold as we navigate our way through numerous archipelagos, fjords & charming northern settlements

Your KMT expedition leader will lay out a general plan for the challenge with sectional breakdowns and daily objectives. You will discover hidden places and uncover the secrets of this ancient coastal culture. You will camp, stay in cabins, guesthouses, and rorbus and enjoy camp meals, picnics, and local specialty dishes prepared by the region’s best chefs as you paddle your way north.

This is an unprecedented trip in which bragging rights belong to those who paddle this journey; tales from the challenge will be the envy of the cocktail circuit.
